The formation of man
Book • 1955
In The Formation of Man Maria Montessori explores how education and environment influence the development of human personality and independence.
The text examines unconscious mechanisms by which children acquire language and culture, and articulates the role of the adult and environment in shaping character.
Montessori frames education as a means for forming an integrated personality and for promoting autonomy, social responsibility, and human flourishing.
The work situates pedagogy within a broader philosophical and social vision, arguing for education that cultivates moral and intellectual capacities together.
It remains a central text for understanding Montessori's aims beyond academic instruction.
